Now reduced to £650 or best offer... quite a bargain now I believe...but then I'm a bit biased I suppose ;)

I keep poking about on eBay for a 'present' to me, but I can't find anything that takes my fancy apart from these KLH speakers that I don't have room for.

They are a bargain and very nice.

Somebody on here really ought to buy these. Check the reviews, they really are super speakers. I wish I had the room for them. KLH speakers are excellent.

No, that's the brown glue holding the tweeter grilles on. The are actually dome/cone units and sound very sweet (I've got a pair stashed away). Yes it is London collection. That's what I find frustrating, they're cheap, I'm not far away and I really want them, but I've run out of room! :(

Get them and sell another pair on the site. You'll likely make a profit into the bargain:D if you dont like em you can always flog em to some poor unsuspecting ;)

I might even borrow them:ner:

Yeah, collection only. Otherwise I would be tempted to make an offer. I find it occasionally frustrating that so many nice things are collection only.

No. They are doped fabric and just don't wear out. They can be re-doped easily if need be.

So you bought the Model 23s Jamie.

I've heard a quite a few KLH models and always liked them (I remember when they were on the UK market). I've owned a couple of pairs and they sounded sweet and punchy (quite similar to vintage ARs). Let us know how you get on with them.

You may need to do a recap and rewire to get the best from them. Should be very easy, as I believe there's only one capacitor and the wiring is simple. You could probably install modern terminals too. If you have tweeter problems, I have a spare pair of what I believe are the correct ones. If the cloth surround doping (sticky coating) on the bass drivers has become porous, I can advise you on treating this.

Enjoy them! :)

thanks mate,after your advice i thought id have a punt,ive talked to the seller and by all accounts both sets of drivers are working fine,although as you say,after so long a recap is most defiantly needed,i might even get my hands dirty this time and have a go myself! :)
11-01-2015, 22:03

I reckon you've got yourself a bargain there Jamie. Probably because not many people in this country know about them. In the US they are well regarded. I think they should realistically be worth a couple of hundred quid to a serious vintage buff, especially in tidy condition like these..

Just bought this:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2815584946...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I've lusted after one for the last five years, but they're a bit dear new (at least £1200 for a cartridge is by my standards). Hopefully, this will be a good one!

This will be four ZYXs in my collection now. I may sell one of my R100s.

There really are some daft people about. This Michell dust arm has now been bid up to £155 so far. Why?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/J-A-Michel...item20f3d44221

I wouldn't want it anywhere near my TT.

It looks good enough to clean my dry heels. Maybe I'll place a snipe!

The wooden Pritchard AC-40 arm is a pretty rare beast! £800 seems a reasonable price for a mint sample of deck and arm. It would need a good service as I expect the grease has become dry with time; the seller claims the deck has remained unused in the box for 25 years.

I have actually seen quite a few of these crop up on eBay over the years. Mainly in America.
